About the album proper:
"Anton Barbeau's double album, Morgenmusik/Nachtschlager, an audacious fusion of psychedelic pop, acid-rock, and funk, enriched by surprising textures of world music and clever bits of spoken word vignettes. Recorded between the serenity of a Californian farm and the vibrancy of Berlin, the album harmonizes day-written and night-written tracks, exploring the dichotomy of expectation and reality. Featuring an eclectic mix of talent, including Colin Moulding of XTC and Bryan Poole of Elf Power and Of Montreal, the record showcases Barbeau's versatility and passion for crafting pop perfection."
